Spaceship earth!

DV Brer Rabbit · 08-28-2006, 07:44 PM

Wow this is my first time posting in the WDW forum! So excited! Anyways if you've been to Epcot before then you must know about Spaceship earth in the Epcot ball! Have you ever been on it? It's my second favorite ride in Disney! It's makes me wonder...how did they fit that whole ride in that ball? It's just amazing! So what do you think of Spaceship earth?

that was also oneof my favorites! you just seem to go down for forever. although the cm was not the nicest the first time i went on it. my brother is 16, im 14, and my sister is 10. we are all pretty tall, and she decides to put all in one seat. i got the middle, so i was sitting on the little bump with no head rest. while going down the big hill, my neck was leaning way back and my back was on that bump, so it was killing me. next time we went on it, i made sure that didnt happen again. other then that experiance, i love going down backwards, seeing the news reports and the people from japan and america talking. my favorite dark ride in the park

Off Topic- Wow so a CM was not nice to you? I thought almost everyone was nice at WDW!? I think people at DL are not very nice.
On Topic- Spaceship earth is just spectacular! Love it! Sooo much!

Spaceship Earth stands as a monument to how great an originally-themed attraction can be.

dont want to sound stupid but what is spaceship earth?

PeoplemoverMatt · 08-28-2006, 09:38 PM

See for yourself, it's the giant geodesic sphere.

This taken at the entrance of Epcot. Much better first thing to see than a giant hubcap...

I wish they would take down those little stars. They dont have any significance after 2000 ended.

A lot of people refer to the Mickey arm with the Wand and EPCOT script the Hand of Eisner but i like it. In fact i have never seen Spaceship Earth without the hand in person.but I have seen tons of photos.

PeoplemoverMatt · 08-28-2006, 11:26 PM

I was skeptical about the hand, but it actually looks pretty nice in person.

LOL so instead of a giant hubcap you want a humongous golf ball? LOL sorry just had to ask LOL

PeoplemoverMatt · 08-28-2006, 11:47 PM

They don't play Frisbee Golf in the PGA.

Its supposed to be a round Spaceship which is representational of the Earth thus Spaceship Earth. It does look like a golf ball indeed but when the press refers to it as a golf ball i get ticked off.

The press is just looking for dumb humor by saying "Hey that golf ball crashed today!" SE is the greatest ride to hit the Disney company since it opened! I've only rode it twice!

It's good, but not the best Disney ride. Or anywhere close in my opinion.
